Default head milling

I have an lq4 stock bottom end, and I am installing stage 3 243 heads with 2.08/1.6 valves. So If I am going to flycut the pistons .100, mill the head to 59cc, and run a .040 gasket. Does this sound like a good plan? I am thinking about going with a custom ground cam, and possibly a bigger converter later. I just want to get the compression ratio up. All my info should be in the sig thanks!!

sounds close, but i know u will take the time to clay it , my heads were 59cc, so thats milling bout .024, and i used an.045 gasket cut mine .085 on the intake, the exhust i used the tool just to cut the extra .030 radius around the valve it was light cut .015, i feel confortable bout my clearance. all in the name for alittle more power, i had the stock pistion in my block
